Tro.nIe.U.sertIe Laay,. Mind.

Mrs. Warren o. Nettleton of No. 6 Olive street was taken to the insane retreat at Mid dletown yesterday for treatment. Miss Snow, 8 lady boarder of hers, made an at tempt to take away her furniture without paying ST back room rent, disputing the bill, and to this the lady of the house objected. Miss Snow then sued Mrs. Nettleton on g writ of replsvin and obtained judgment against her, the defendant failing to appear and refusing to pay up. Constable Enseoe then attached her body, and though she was not taken to jail, through the interference of Attorney Hugh Daley, the arrest weighed so on her that it shattered her mind, and her attending physician, Dr. Gilbert, thought the asylum the best place for her until she re- covers, as she probably will. Her husband, Warren O. Nettleton, who is in the lumber business in Alexandria, Va, has returned to this city to look after his wife.

FOR THE POOIE.
Wanted, A Christmas Dinner.

Wanted, A Christmas Dinner.
 In this season of holiday rejoicing the de- serving poor should not be forgotten. In how many homes does Christmas mean only a sharper contrast between good cheer and actual hunger. In how many other homes, hardly deserving the name, does it mean only added bitterness in the cup of sorrow. Shall we not be acting in the true spirit of the day if we do something to confer pleasure and relieve suffering2 Is it not our duty to con- tribute according to our ability, to practice a little self-deniaI, even iH order that for a brief space the cloud in these homes may have a silver lining? To this end the Organ- ized Charities association appeal for funds sufficient to furnish Christmas dinners to our deserving poor. Money contributed for this object may be left at the office of the society, 23 Church street, or sent by mail to the agent, s. o. Preston. Articles of food will also be gladly received. Donations should not be delayed beyond Saturday the 24th.

A New Crusade of the Temperance
 Women of NashfngtOn.


 From the Washington Star.
 Women in East Washington who are in- terested in the temperance cause. and who have taken an active part in the fight now going on against the saloon keepers, ,are asita- ted over what they think is an evil almost equal if not greater than the business carried on by saloon keepers. It is the sale of candy drops favored with brandy or whiskey, some of them being called rock-and-rye drops. They made in the usual size of the large lemon drops and are sold for penny each. Some of them are strongly flaw ored, and it is said by the temperance women will intoxicate children if they eat several of them.
 One of the temperance women told Star reporter last night that a child of one of her neighbors had been stupefied from eating these candy drops and smoking cigarettes. In the neighborhood of the Peabody school she said there was small store patronized by the children and kept by woman who sells all sorts of notions, candies, cigars cigarettes, and also these rock -and-rye drops which the lady had no doubt created an ap- petite for strong drink. The store, she said was patronized by the neighbors, who made many small purchases, until few days ago, when the parents of one of the school chiI- dren learned the stupid condition of their child was caused by eating these drops, which he purchased from the store referred to. The mother of the child visited the pro- prietress and told her how this candy had affected her child, and requested her to dis continue it's sale. This, however, she refused to do.
 The woman keeping the store told Star reporter that the occurrence spoken of above happened many weeks ago, and that she had since stopped selling the rock-and-rye drops because there was no profit in them. She laughed at the idea that they were dangerous or would make drunkards of small boys They were good, she said, to cure colds, and | she knew temperance people who used \ them for that purpose. She said that she understood there was no liquor in them, but that they were favored with the same in. gredients used sometimes to flavor whiskey with.
 This morning when Star reporter called \ the attention of Prosecuting Attorney Pad | gett to the matter, he said that such a case had never been presented to him for consid. | eration, but that if it should be, with the ! proof that thers was some intoxicating liquol
 in the candy, he would certainly present the matter to the court and get ruling. The | persons who sell such candy certainly pay nc liquor license, and he therefore did not think | they had right to sell the drops He though | the case would be good one to present tc | the court.

The Germs of Consumption. 4I,o o-J1-.


 Dr. Brown Sequard, who has been preach ing that bad ventilation of sleeping rooms and poor monotonous food are the great causes of phthisis, treated of that disease at the last meeting of the Academy of Sciences in Paris, taking many of his examples from England.
 Wherever population is dense, and sleeping rooms ill aired or overcrowded, consumption prevails. Dr. Bailey reported that in Mfllbank prison there were, out of 100 deaths, 45 from this disease.
 According to the illustrious French doctor 8 room in which 8 conEumptive person sleeps | is rseking with contagious germs, if the ail ! he exhales is not carried off. But how get \ rid of it In ill-built houses, or very colo \ weather, when it is as dangerous to open win ! dows as to keep them shut? | To meet this difficulty Dr. Brown Sequarc showed the Academy an apparatus of his invention. A reversed funnel, the shape O | a lamp shade, is placed at the end of tube \ so arranged in its curves and angles tha ! when it is placed beside bed the reversed funnel will be above the sleeper, and draw uI
 the air he breathes. The other end runs int the chimney of the room. If there is none i
 is taken through heating apparatus to an al l hole. The heat is great enough to burn tn disease germs.

DECIDED AGAINST COLLINS.
An Interesting Liquor License Case Decided by the County COmmts- sIoners Yesterday-The Watch shop and Cheshire Academy.

An Interesting Liquor License Case
 Decided by the County Commits
 sIoners Yesterdey-The Watch shop
 and Cheshire Academy.
 Yesterday the county commissioners de- cided not to license John Collins to sell in- toxicating liquors in the village of Cheshire About six months ago MT. Collins was licensed to sell beer at his residence in Ches- hire, it being understood by the eommis- sioners that he only proposed to bottle beer. A few weeks ago this temporary license ex- pired and MT. Collins renewed his applica- tion ''to sell beer in bottles," but this time a petition was circulated through the village of Cheshire and received many signatures re- questing the commissioners to refuse him a license on several grounds, but chiefly be- cause, however suitable his place might be for bottling establishment, its situation in immediate proximity both to the clock and watch factories made it most unsuitable for a regular beer saloon such as the applicant had kept and it was thought purposed to cons tinue to keep.
 The commissioners listened to the evidence November 12 and to the arguments Novem- Der 23 when they rejected MT. Collins ap- plication.
  Collins renews his application, but this time he asks for a regular unqualified liquor license, although in a slightly different loea- tiou. Again the Cheshire people remonstrat- ed, and last week Saturday in the | court room oi the Court of Common Pleas the county commissioners heard the evidence of prominent residents e l Cheshire, who testified that the proposed To- cation was nearer to the watch shop than il ! was before and undesirably convenient fol the pupils of the Episcopal academy. A number of ladies connected with the Wo. ' mems Christian Temperance union o1 | Cheshire were present at the hearing, but ! only the gentlemen testified.
 Among the witnesses for the objectorf were: N. Brigham Hall, treasurer of the | Cheshire Watch shops; Arthur B. Hotchkiss president of the Cheshire Clock shop, anc Rev Sanford Horton, principal of the 1 Cheshire Episcopal academy. Attorney Kelsey. of Cheshire, represented the appli- cant and Livingston W. Cleaveland and Johr 0. Gallagher appeared for the rsmonstrants | Cheshire people are highly pleased with th' \ decision of the commissioners.
